  • Visitor Visa for Parents from India

    My situation:

    Applying US visitor visa for both parents. I hold stamped H1B and have worked in US earlier for 3 years and returned in 2010. Will be travelling back to US for next assignment in next month or 2 hopefully.

    My sister is married to a H1B holder recently and she is now in US on H4 and she went in Nov. My parents want to visit her in April.

    What should be the best answer to purpose of visit as I'm yet to travel? I'm thinking: visit my sister & closest tourist city for 3 months. Is there an issue if they say 3 months but end up staying 6 months?

    My father is working now, earlier had business but closed. His salary is around 40K, part cash part bank deposited. Capable of self sponsoring the visit but not sure how to provide proof for it. Thinking of asking them to carry CA financial assessment with dad's stock investments with around 5-7L and mom's bank deposit of around 4L. Is this sufficient? Have property but I dont think VO will even look into that.

    What is the best answer to how much is your salary when salary is not the only income. There is rental income also? Should my Mom be denoted as Land land (assuming such an occupation exists in DS160) instead of house wife.

    How to show proof that they will certainly return back to India when VO doesn't ask to look at any doc?
    My dad will carry leave approval letter. My dad's mom and mom's mom are in india so if asked will ask them to say need to return back to take care of them.
    Will have rental lease document as well.

    Have gone through this website and preparing them with documents.

    1. Visiting family and tourism is fine. 3 months is not an issue.
    2. He can show any income from any source as long as it is documented.
    3. Regarding mom, mention the true occupation.
    4. There is no guaranteed way to show that they will return.

      Thanks for the quick response. Appreciated.

      Is 45K income split into multiple transactions per month ok to show as salary, as that is how it is being credited.
      Also, in addition there is 15K rental but for the last few months there is no rental due to no tenants. IS it ok to include this in income?
      So a total of 45 + 15 K, is this sufficient from VO's perspective to grant visa for self sponsored.

      Savings in stocks and deposits is present and will ask them to carry this statement as well.

        D160 question

        few questions while filling ds160

        1) I selected B2 tourism/medical - is this the right category as I didnt find just tourism or visit.
        2) my father is with current employer for last 5-6 years. Any proof required to show this. if so what is the ideal proof?
        3) For previous employment, should previous employer section be filled as previously he was doing business. if so what kind of proof is required?
        4) Additional work section - Have you worked for any charitable, professional organisation - He is part of the organizing committee of a trade organisation in india. he doesnt hold any post as such as it is a yearly activity. Should this be mentioned or is it better to ignore this?
        what is the purpose of this question?

              1) B2 is correct
              2) Employment letter from current employer stating job position, monthly salary, duration etc.,
              3) No need if he is employed now or if you can provide a self employed letters and you have to show the tax returns for that business
              4) According to me better ignore this

                thanks for the response.

                Had submitted the form just before your response. I will try to ensure they can carry this docs.
                I went with mentioning the professional organisation.

                Now when trying to pay fees, it says I can do it only monday to friday NEFT timings. So have to wait.
                On the left panel, it shows earliest available as 24th March. Is this the right info?

                Anyway to get earlier slot? I have heard that cancelled slots become open every now and then. any idea how to book cancelled slots?


                Also, would like to thank this website and forum. Very helpful with all the guides and steps.

                  Question on NEFT payment and appointment booking

                  I made payment through Axis Bank and now waiting to receive email/sms saying it is activated to schedule appointment.


                  Also, once appointment is scheduled, what are the chances of getting an earlier date by rescheduling later due to someone's cancellation?
